Rare Vintage sd video mixer The PIx Box in working condition. Please Read!!!! I'll
This is a very rare Vintage unit, Great unit it sold for about $26,000 when it came out, I can't find much information on it now online, I have used this it works, However, video was a little darker than it was coming out of a Panasonic mixer I have, but I used a proc amp that I had my signals converted through to HDMI and brighten it up that way, The signal out of the outputs are brighten than the monitor shows. I use an external SD Card Recorded to HD. Works Just fine, The Monitor on this unit is a little jumpy sometimes works in multi view and full screen. all the video inputs and outputs worked the last time I used this. I have never used the tally stuff on the unit. I think it's a great unit , something I had been trying to DIY for years, I know I have put several cases together trying to come up with something like this. However, I'm not doing a lot of event shooting anymore. So I know someone could put this to good use.
